    Why are the council responsible for a driver’s speed and/or lack of concentration?

    Lets’ jump on the band wagon and blame the council as the easy way out!!

    The council *aren’t* responsible for drivers’ speeding / lack of concentration, but it is not unusual for councils to install traffic calming measures in places where there have been a number of incidents of a similar nature in one place.

    The weather on Saturday was particularly nasty and, after a glorious week, it’s not surprising that the road was more treacherous than normal. Perhaps some anti-skid surfacing on the corner may help both drivers whose cars slide despite their best efforts, and the residents that sadly keep having their property damaged.

    Seems like common sense to me, but then again I’m not on the council… ;-)
